YOU wont have to wait for weekend radio programs to hear your favorite love songs from yesteryears. All you have to do is to watch a gig of Make Your Momma Proud or MYMP.

This award-winning quintet from the Philippines has certainly made their mommas proud by injecting new life to the timeless hits that we love. Armed with Juris Hernandez angelic voice and Chin Alcantaras soulful rhythms, MYMP re-made these classics for the younger generation to love.

Their career took off when they were discovered by Raymond Ryan, station manager of Philippine radio station iFM 93.9, in one of their early gigs. Eventually, it was also Ryan who helped the band produce their first album, Soulful Acoustic, which went on to platinum status.

And to prove that their initial success is no fluke, their 2005 double-disc record entitled Versions and Beyond was very much embraced by Filipino music lovers that it garnered a seven-time platinum recognition.

This success also made them one of the most sought after commercial jingle composers in the country. Though they are relatively a young band, they have already made beats for Hortaleza Beauty Center, Jollibee, Nescafe and Jam 88.3.

They have also been recognized by the top award-giving bodies in the Philippines. They were named as the Best Acoustic Act in the 2004 SOP Awards and Most Popular Recording Group in the 2006 Box Office Entertainment Awards.

Of course, hearing their records is good enough. But, your MYMP experience will not be complete once youve seen them perform. They are an amiable group of individuals who want nothing less than a great acoustic session and the simplicity of their harmonies have made them into one of the most likable bands in the Philippines.

Also, listening to their songs will give you a mixed feeling of nostalgia and freshness. They have made a reggae song Waiting In Vain into a heartfelt track that is still making rounds in Philippine radio stations. Also, they have added a manly flavor to Tracy Chapmans Fast Car. And last but not the least, Chin did a good job in remaking the piano-heavy song Beauty and Madness into an acoustic masterpiece.

Say all you want about them raking success by just rehashing songs. But once youve watched them take the stage, you will discover that they have paid tribute to those great musicians while making these songs as if it was theirs. And with the way things are going for them, its hard to imagine whether their greatness will ever wilt.

They have taken the Philippine music industry by storm and so it is time for you to check them out and have a wonderful night of music as Juris serenades you while Chin lets his guitar weep. So be treated with the kind of acoustic music only MYMP can produce. And once youve started it, their soothing melodies will make you listen to them more often. And with that in mind, it could be an addiction that will make your momma proud as well.

Watch MYMP perform at the 2008 Pinoy Musik Festival on May 17-18 at the Meadowlands Expo Center, Secaucus, New Jersey . For more information, please contact 212-682-6610 or email at sepmgzn@aol.com, visit www.pinoymusikfestival.com.
